1933 PRESCRIP'1'O Page Fifty-Two History of the Fraternity N January 8th, 1929, a group of prominent and scholarly students of the Senior Class of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy introduced a new and heretofore untried experiment in this school, the organization of a fraternity. Its purpose was to be to aid the cause of pharmacy, whenever and wherever possible, and to promote all such laudable undertakings that came within its scope. Many difficulties were encountered during the first few months of the life of the fraternity. It was only through consistent work and untiring efforts that a chapter was obtained, and the Chi Iota Phi firmly organized. James A. Hart was elected as the first president of the new organization. During this year the fraternity took rapid strides and soon became a prominent activity in the school. Several banquets along with a few informal gatherings wgre held, which served to bind the members by everlasting good fellowship. The second president was William E. Mooney. Under his leadership the fra- ternity gained much headway and became an active part of the school life. In the third year of the life of the Chi Iota Phi, we found a firmly estab- lished organization headed by William P. Gurske. During this year there were several informal smokers and banquets, the last activity of the fraternity being a farewell dance given in honor of the members leaving school. As we came to the fourth year under the direction of Herbert W. Jacobus, the ideal of the fraternity was ever prevalent. Many activities were sponsored, one being a campaign that all pharmacists should be college graduates. This fraternity gave the first dance of the year and closed the successful year with a brilliant formal party for the incoming members. We are now in the fifth year under the inspiring leadership of William A. Wildfong, with an organization that is absolutely one of Brotherhood. It has been the willingness to help and the desire to improve the students in all ways that has made the organization one to which any student can feel it is an honor to belong. The fraternity again gave the first dance of the year and many other activities including a successful organization of the Alumni Chapter to the mother fraternity. The season was closed with a banquet in honor of new members. Plans for activity during the summer months are being arranged. Friendship and fellowship have been made to assume a more comprehen- sive meaning, because of the consistent fostering they have received. Scholar- ship has been made to advance among the members by the setting of rigid standards and high ideals by this organization. Each member of the Chi Iota Phi is thoroughly imbued with these domi- nating principles, which form the foundation of all true fraternities. With this spirit as a positive attribute of the organization we can look into the future with conndence, feeling sure that our work thus far has not been in vain. CLARENCE J. WOHLWEND.
